As for myself, I'm pushing 60 and have been a 12 Stepper over 1/2 my life now. To date, I haven't had much anxiety about anticipating my demise or the circumstances thereof, I think I've 'cheated death' sufficiently to have an element of 'serenity' should the moment arise and I'm aware it's coming.
My hitting bottom with addiction was just less than the proverbial cunt hair from being fatal at the time, it's been the element of my success that mattered the most.
Upon achieving sobriety, I went on to lose 39 more (there was 1 before) friends and acquaintances to HIV so the Grim Reaper and I go way back as it is, If the bastard feels I teased him or cheated and didn't play fair, good for me. I still have a score to settle.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
